- Thanks in advance for your patience -- my husband left for the weekend and left me with the project of getting the video downloaded -- ugh!
When we bought the camera the salesman suggested buying Pinnacle Studio 10 and a Dazzle device with yellow, white and red connectors. That is the cord I have plugged into the camcorder and it has a USB connector on the other end.
In describing this to you, I remembered that I think I saw my husband use the "capture" feature in the Pinnacle software -- so I just tried that. Another error message: "If you have a DV or Digital 8 camcorder, please make sure that it is turned on and that it is connected to the Firewire or "1394" port on your computer."
If I still haven't described the cable enough, let me know.Sep 12, 2009
- Have an emergency out of town. Will have to deal with this later. Thanks for your offer to help!!!!!!!

You have indicated that you have a sony camera. iLink is Sony's name for a type of computer cable that is also know as IEEE1394 (on PCs) or Firewire on apple mac compters. Unfotuantely that is not the same as the A/V cable (and sockets on the camera), which are used to "play" the video on a TV or video monitor- they are not the same thing, A/V cables usually have round connections, while iLink / firewire is a rectangular plug. Tell more about the cable and we can figure out what's going on

- I have Parkinson;s and typing legibly is very time intensive for me- I don't know where you are located, but i'm quite tired, but would be willing to continue this tomorow. I also wold prefer to do it via voice communication, since typing is so hard for me. I'm not sure what fixya.com's policy about communication of the website is, but here is my email address: If you are willing and feel OK with "talking" to me directly, send me an email and I'll send you my phone #

Hi, I have a legria fs200 and its supposedly brand new. When I record an event and do a playback, I noticed that streaks appear as I pan or follow my subject. Also noticeable was that when my subjects are moving, as in dancing for instance, the same streaks appear even when the camcorder in mounted on a tripod. Is it just my settings, or something else? Could anyone please enlighten me on this. Thanks very much. :)
